How Relay Stations Get the Internet to Remote Locations in the Arctic

In the last few minutes of his trip to the Arctic, Tom Scott took a tour of a relay station to learn how the internet reaches some of the most remote places in the world.

Jakob emailed me when I said I was headed to the Arctic, offering to help out with a video. I don’t think he knew what he was signing up for! Thank you so much to both Jakob Schytz and John Davidsen: we had only a few minutes to film this before I had to be on the last Zodiac boat out of town, so I’m really happy with the result!
